The Prettiest Star Pannier: I Made 18th Century Hoops with Glitter and Rainbows!

Go big, or go home! In this video, I walk you step by step through my process of making these 18th century hoops, otherwise known as a pannier. These hoops served as a support in the 18th century for petticoats and gowns, helping to give the most fashionable silhouette. While many historical costumers opt for the simpler, cheaper, and easier option of making pocket hoops, I decided to make my life difficult by attempting the real deal, using historically accurate techniques (mostly). The original hoops were made with iron wires and complicated joints. In this video, I'll show you how I adapted that process using modern materials, most of which anyone already has available in their home! This is an adaptation of an extant pannier from Patterns of Fashion 5, but made with a glam rock twist--with rainbows, glitter, and flashing lights. Because sparkles. This is the sixth video in my Glam Rock Goes Rococo Series.
